It’s the other way around. GameFreak redesigns the Pokedex each generation to resemble contemporary hardware. Gens 1 through 4 looked like the handheld you were playing on, 5 onwards look like a smartphone, and in Let’s Go only it looks like a laptop.
You see, in a cult there’s a guy at the top who knows it’s all bullshit. In a religion that guy died ages ago and scholars aren’t sure if he existed to begin with.
Crobat, my beloved. Where hast my 6 foot, 4 winged bat gone? What forces of evil have possessed GameFreak to keep me from you? Can they not see the bonds of friendship that keep me coming back to you? Dost they not know thou art perfect? Your soft purple fur, your unique typing, your winning personality? Fear not, my love. For I know that one day, you and I will be reunited! I will once again fly on your back to the Pokémon league, whereupon I will thrash the Elite Four with your STAB Cross Poison! Till then, my lavender cutie, rest your mighty wings, sweet cherub. Our time will come again.
I have a soft spot for 3 cause it was the first one I played on my mom’s computer. 4 had some neat world building, but i can’t remember much of the second half.
These people talk like they’re somewhere between JRPG villains and Hideo Kojima. My eyes glazed over a few times trying to parse this pseudophilosophical nonsense. If this had come from someone with far less power, I’d have dismissed it as the ramblings of a crazy person.
Incidentally, I happen to be watching Minority Report right now. I hope that’s not going to be the future I live in someday.
Edit: oh neat. This is my 500th comment.
No shit? Machines don’t get tired.
1969, the 1984 porn parody.
I made that up just now, but I’d be surprised if it doesn’t exist somewhere.
The irony is that the character you’re portraying yourself as is a fascist.
The people on the left are atheist philosophers and the ones on the right are shitheads who coincidentally happen to be atheists. Special mention to the bottom left in the right box, Ann Rand, whose “philosophy” is that the rich and powerful are morally superior to everyone else because they’re rich and powerful and might makes right and all those dirty poor people should die from huffing train exhaust. (not exaggeration. This is what she actually believes)
The meme is a statement that just because you’re right on one thing doesn’t make you right on everything.
Please don’t link News Nation. They employ Bill “you can’t explain that” O’Reilly.
"Charlie Kirk was someone who encouraged everyone to love others,”
I audibly burst out laughing. Ether this fucker had no idea who he was before he died, or he is lying his ass off.
He killed a mother minding her own business.
We can’t afford to take that chance.
My brother in Christ, you’re putting in in Excel!
Doesn’t NASA use older tech because it’s more secure? I think I remember reading that somewhere.
Shin Megami Tensei be like:
They said decades. Plural.
Splatoon, Xenoblade, Miitomo, ARMs, and Ring Fit Adventure all say hi.
Here in Illinois it’s illegal to discourage you from joining a union, so thankfully I never had to put up with that bullshit. Just another reason I live in the best state in the country.
